The Stable Lodge

The Lodge is light, airy and modern, whilst providing original character and features. An ideal romantic getaway for couples, those visiting family and friends, or somewhere to base yourself for a weekend of walking in the chilterns; this cosy, self-contained lodge is perfect for those looking to get away from it all. Set on a working stable yard surrounded by private ancient woodland accessible to guests. Private fenced garden, however not secure on one side for a determined dog. The space Kitchen: LIGHT COOKING ONLY - kitchen and breakfast bar containing - hob; oven; microwave; fridge-freezer and plenty of crockery. Living space: A sofa, comfy armchair, bookshelves and TV make up this open-plan living area. Bathroom: Relax in the bath with some candles and a book from the cupboard in the living area, or enjoy the shower’s great water pressure if you’re in a rush to get out exploring. Bedroom: A comfy king-sized bed with views out onto the lodge’s courtyard. In the spring and summer, watch the hedgerow teeming with birds. Outside: The lodge has a self contained courtyard with outdoor seating, perfect for a summer evening. Opposite the lodge is, on one side, our residence and on the other side a working stable yard we run. We ask that visitors please respect our privacy and do not wander too close to the house, enter the stable yard or outbuildings or approach the horses at any time. Surrounding the lodge and our cottage are 70 acres of private woods which the guests are welcome to use. These woods can take you onto an ancient drovers path through to picturesque Little Missenden which has two pubs. PLEASE CHECK THAT YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE HOUSE RULES PRIOR TO BOOKING. Nearby: Situated in the Chiltern hills, there is plenty of hiking and biking for guests to do. We recommend the nearby Wendover woods, Coombe hill, or National Trust’s Hughenden Manor grounds as lovely walking spots. The nearby villages of Little Missenden (a lovely 40 minute walk from the Lodge), Great Missenden, Wendover, and Old Amersham provide ample places to find a great pub, museum, or local boutique shop, as well as general facilities. Beaconsfield has the world famous model village and the old town many wonderful places to eat. Great Missenden station is 10 minutes drive away, and Beaconsfield and High Wycombe stations are 15 minutes. All provide easy direct access to London. There is a supermarket and chemist a short drive away in Hazlemere and a large Tesco in Amersham Guest access We are most easily accessed by car. The Stable Lodge is down the end of a half mile long track which looks like it leads to nowhere (which it does, except us!). On arrival you will be provided with a remote to access the property at any time. Parking is available on site. Check In time is from 3.00 p.m. and no later than 9.50 p.m. - the gate shuts off at 10.00 p.m. so am unable to grant access after that time. Entry to the stable lodge is from the front of the building, with clear signs to guide you. Guests have access to the lodge and surrounding woods. The main house, the granary, fields, and stables are all off limits. Other things to note This is our home and NOT a hotel and we have agreed to share our home with you with the expectation that you will treat it and us respectfully. Our ethos with AirBnB is that you "leave as you find" and to not expect the hosts to clean up. Sorry, but we do not accept children at The Lodge. Pets: We request that only two well-behaved dogs stay. (we have deer-packed woods, a working stable yard, and occasionally sheep). We also respectfully ask that your dogs are not left alone in The Lodge at any time and are supervised at all times. TV: Large 41” digital TV with free to air channels available. The woods are part of an environmental management programme and have had some recent forestry work done. The paths are therefore a little rutted and muddy in wet weather. Occasionally we have sheep in our fields. GUESTS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO CHARGE ELECTRIC VEHICLES AT ANY TIME
